Like Dry Jan, Sober October, is nothing particularly new. However there is a massively rising trend is the amount of people that are deciding to shun alcohol altogether and opt for a completely sober life. You guys don’t need us to tell you that excessive alcohol consumption has some really negative health associations so can these periods of abstinence help to reset our relationship with it? Or can they actually feed into more of a binge-purge cycle? This is what we set out to uncover in this week’s episode and this time it is Eve taking on the challenge. 

The rules

Simple. Eve can’t drink any alcohol for the month of October. 

Well…we’ve already given spoilers here so you know Eve didn’t really stick with this but what were the feelings and patterns of behaviour that were triggered? Listen in to find out!
